Background

Make Air, Not War

The Air Guitars will screech for World Peace for the 18th time in Oulu, Northern Finland on 21-24 August 2013. The World Final will be battled on Friday 23 August at Rotuaari Square

What started as a joke in 1996, has grown into a seriously fun, semi-absurd performance art that appeals to a wide international audience and media. Air Guitar World Championships is an internationally registered trademark, under which the peaceful Message of Air Guitar is passed on all around the world.

"The purpose of the Air Guitar World Championships is to promote world peace. According to the ideology of the Air Guitar, wars would end, climate change stop and all bad things disappear, if all the people in the world played the Air Guitar. This is why the whole universe is invited to play the Air Guitar for the world peace at the end of the competition."

@charlesf

no, none of the options are duplicates. and yes, the options move. options are automatically reordered by their value. Option with highest percentage is listed first. and yes, you obviously missed the note :-D since there is an announcement about this on the Noticeboard
about the drugs and alcohol, well, yeah, all within useful boundaries.
who wants to bet on guns 'n roses anyway? (okay, not allowing to is evil, but, hey, it's a bug yes)

I think I need some help.

After making a few predictions I was sure that a few of the options in this market were listed twice but after checking them 3 times I only found each one listed once. After making a few more predictions I am convinced that after I make a prediction the option moves.

Is this a late April Fools prank?
Did I find an Easter Egg?
Is this a new feature that kruijs added and I missed the memo?
Is my computer in worse shape than I thought?
Have I been staring at the screen for too long?

No drugs or alcohol were involved. At least not on my end.

What should I do?

Go back to sleep.
Make an appointment with a psychiatrist.
Make an appointment with my eye doctor.
Make an appointment with a witch doctor.
Call in an exorcist.
All of the above.

PS
Also, I can't make a prediction on Guns 'n Roses.
